Set?  GO!!  Bishop Election 2020 - Synod Survey   You are indeed my rock and my fortress; for your name's sake lead me and guide me. Psalm 31:3   At the Sierra Pacific Synod Assembly May 1 - 3, 2020, we will be electing a new bishop. This process is one that calls for information and discernment. In preparation, not unlike congregations do, we are developing a Site Profile that will describe the nature, concerns and dreams of this Synod. To accomplish this, we need input from members of the synod throughout our geographic area and our diverse communities.   We hope to hear from as many people as possible - members and friends of our synod's congregations and ministries, as well as pastors and deacons under call, retired, on leave from call or on continuing disability.   Please respond to the survey as completely as possible before the deadline of September 5, 2019.   Click Here to Complete the Synod Survey Good Morning FLC! Today is my last day in Cambodia (July 8) and I can't believe that in 12 days I'll be home!! Below is my final newsletter (contact the church office for other documents from Non-profits here in Cambodia). With the generous donation from the FLC community I thought it was very important that a portion of it be donated to help clear landmines in Cambodia. This is still a very big issue, and you can read a little more about the organizations in my newsletter, on their websites, and in the attached documents. For those that would like to read about it in person there will be copies in the fellowship hall at church to read.   It's surreal that my 10 months in Cambodia is over and I can't thank you all enough for your constant support throughout this journey. I'm looking forward to being back in CA and hope to be able to catch up with as many of you as possible!
